how would i do this?

Hello.
need help with the map i'm doing right now,
this map got 2 friendly towns with vendors etc in it, so after you kill a certain boss, hostile mobs will spawn in these towns and start killing everything, how would i make a trigger for that?

 

[TheGreatSwath]

im no pro with triggers but in the small understanding of GUI i have i would say make a trigger that says

If (UNIT) dies DO (action) or something like that

well you can do like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - boss <gen> Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Killing unit) Equal to your hero
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 5 Rogue for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (your regions)) facing Default building facing degrees

the killing youl have to figure out your self.

Hmm...if your boss is spawned later and doesn't exist already in the map, you need a different event/condition.

• Events:
• A Unit Dies
• Conditions:
• Dying Unit equal to [I]boss[/I]
• Actions:
• --- etc. ---

• Events:
• A Unit Dies
• Conditions:
• Dying Unit equal to [I]boss[/I]
• Actions:
• --- etc. ---

Actually, this is wrong...

• Events:
• A Unit Dies
• Conditions:
• (Unit-type of Triggering Unit) equal to <Boss>
• Actions:

Why is that wrong ? Seems very correct to me.

The trigger is correct, but not after this statement.
If the boss is placed in the WE, you can pick it as a "preset" unit in the trigger's condition. That's what NiKaNoRoU_GR's trigger does.
But if the boss is created in-game, it won't have a generated variable, so you have to make a unit-type check as a condition.

unless you make the "boss" a unit variable, and set this unit variable = last created unit when you create the boss

Assuming there's only one boss
